Use Luma AI's first-party Photon and Photon Flash image API for text-to-image, image/style/character references, image modification, asynchronous generation, secure artifact handling, production prompting, cost control, and policy-aware delivery. Trigger for Luma Photon API integration or production work; do not use for Ray video, UNI image models, the Luma consumer app, or third-party Photon gateways.

# Luma Photon production guide

Use this skill for the legacy-path Luma API image surface backed by `photon-1` and `photon-flash-1`. Keep it separate from Ray video generation, newer UNI image workflows, Luma Agents, the consumer app, ComfyUI wrappers, and hosted third-party gateways. The string `dream-machine` remains in the documented Photon REST path even though Luma's current brand guidance calls that terminology retired.

All volatile facts below were verified against first-party sources on **2026-07-09**. Recheck the API reference, billing dashboard, rate-limit page, and governing agreement immediately before production commitments.

## Choose Photon deliberately

The documented image model IDs are:

- `photon-1` — the default Photon model. Luma positions it for higher-fidelity generation.
- `photon-flash-1` — the faster, lower-cost iteration model.

Treat those descriptions as provider positioning, not independent quality findings. Run a fixed brief-and-reference bake-off using the intended deliverable, then compare prompt adherence, source fidelity, text, anatomy, material continuity, latency, rejection rate, and actual account charge. Use Flash for broad exploration when it meets the bar; promote only finalists to Photon when measured quality justifies the cost.
